As with the last book, there is a lot to enjoy in this story. However, unfortunately, this is a bit of a step down for this reader.
This is still a character-focused story, which is a big pro for me, but as I predicted with the last book, the lack of real progression in any of those character arcs severely undercuts that strength. There are very few characters who feel like their story has moved forward at all over the last two books. With maybe the lone exception being Celeste, no one else seems to be progressing at all from what we saw from them in the first novel.
To be clear, I am not talking about how different they are from their pre-regression selves (we never actually met those people), but rather about who they are when they are introduced to us in the first novel and set on their new paths. It's brought many of their stories to a screeching halt, which undercuts the key benefit of a character-led story; a desire to follow the characters we are invested in as they progress along their character arcs.
The second issue of this book is the explosion in tertiary characters. The first novel focused very much on the protagonist's sect, his family, and maybe their extended families. This novel takes a big step out into a much wider world, and everything is thrown at the reader fast, never lingering quite long enough to make a memorable impression before moving on. The result is a series of new characters and situations that are important to the plot, but haven't quite been developed enough to be memorable or engaging.
I still enjoyed this book on the whole, and I plan to pick up the next book in the series to see where this story goes, but I would be lying if I said I left this book with as much optimism for what is to come as I had after finishing book one.

Not for Me
Intrigue, politics, and teaching growth make up most of this book. The couple of fights didn't land, for me.
Some proofreading issues.
I found this volume unnecessarily slow and bland. There are many new characters, but they all are stock archetypes. The cultivation lectures were florid and thin, the alchemy could have been sentences instead of pages, and the political analysis only needed to be printed once.
If this volume works for you then I wish you all the best. It is not for me.

interesting
The Sect master seeks to save the future so he continues to seeks ways to do so. He strives to fix his family interactions, and help his children become good people and not just young masters. The makes alliances. Brings new people into his confidence and begins to unravel his opponents plans.
It’s a good continuation of the previous. Steady pace. Some world building. Light character growth. Wonderful narrator. Please enjoy

Enjoyable turn back in time series part 2
Instead of the super power builds that start fun and then goes stupid, our main character has already done that in the past. His story builds well and I have enjoyed the supporting friends and family while trying to stem off the end of the world future disaster.

Loved it, would have liked to see more about cultivation or sect growth but the writer kinda painted MC into a corner there. Book two dropped all kinds of wisdom very interesting. Listened to at 1.75x speed. Interesting but not amazing without the needed progression tho loved the character development.

A continuation of the series. A very slice of life feel to it, focusing on the mundane things of cultivation life and what not rather than strictly combat. A good approach that I enjoyed. It might not be quite up to par with others that want strictly a progression in terms of leveling up and action oriented scenes but for me it's good.

It's got pacing issues, the mc doesn't really leverage their foreknowledge very much. The MC is at least a bit convincing that they are a thousand years old in that they don't really care what other people think and find amusement in most things. It's still a niche that I haven't seen before, so I'll probably keep reading.

Great Read
The power system is well explained. The villian are mysterious, yet clearly defined. The fights are not overly long and story proceeds at a good pace. The side characters advance the story in a timely manner also.

If you enjoy slow books where everyone hates the main character for no good reason and the MC just continues to go along then you'll enjoy this.

great sequel
I love this story and am excited it is being continued. If you liked the first book this one has more of the same great world.

I enjoy the pace of these, I enjoy the characters, and I like that he's trying to be a bit nicer instead of speed-running, like so many of these. I thought it was a great follow-up, honestly.
